New research findings from the world’s largest study predicting children’s late language emergence has revealed that parents are not to blame for late talking toddlers.

Seems as though a wide range of factors, some genetic, some environmental are the source of late talking.  Boys are more likely to talk late than girls.  A mother’s education and income had no bearing.

    This is good to know. I have a son who is going on 5 and is not talking yet, and he’s been going to speech therapy since age 2. He understands just fine and he seems to have a really good memory…and I believe he can recognize words.

    I’ve heard him say a few words and at 3 he started babbling a lot. Get him in front of a mirror and he’ll just babble like crazy.
